位于格林威治的河流花园居民在财产法庭裁定指控不可执行后,赢得了对198 986英镑社区热电网回溯供暖法案的法律挑战。 Residents of River Gardens in Greenwich won a legal challenge against a £198,986 retrospective heating bill for their communal heat network, after a property tribunal ruled the charges were unenforceable. 管理代理人Rendall & Rittner在原供应商2022年停止购买天然气后未能及时更新关税,导致短缺。 The managing agent, Rendall & Rittner, failed to update tariffs in time after the original supplier stopped buying gas in 2022, leading to a shortfall. 居民争辩说,该法案是非法的,因为能源价格风险应由供应商而不是消费者承担。 Residents argued the bill was unlawful, as energy price risks should fall on suppliers, not consumers. 法庭站在他们一边,援引了消费者保护法和缺乏追溯指控的法律依据。 The tribunal sided with them, citing consumer protection laws and the lack of legal basis for retroactive charges. 这个案例突显了英国热网络部门在监管方面存在的差距,2025年1月,英国热网络部门才从Ofgem获得监督。 The case highlights regulatory gaps in the UK’s heat network sector, which only gained oversight from Ofgem in January 2025.
